«being crucified §2 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, December 19) 71956 WANT HIM SUSPENDED Detroit Lions Charge Ed. Meadows With Deliberate Injury Attack By BEN PHLEGAR DETROIT (AP)--Detroit Lions want Ed Meadows of Chicago 'Bears barred for life from pro- fessional football. Commissioner Bert Bell of the National Foot- ball League says the player is The charges and denials arose from Sunday's NFL Western Con- ference title game when the Bears whipped the Lions 38-21 in Chi- cago. Quarterback BobLy Layne, key to the Lions' offence, was smeared and injured on a play in the sec- ond quarter. He was out for the rest of the game. The Lions re- ported he suffered a brain con- cussion Edwin J. Anderson, president of the Lions, dispatched a three-page letter to Bell Monday night ac- $i Meadows, a defensive end, deliberately slugging Layne. He asked Bell to bar Meadows for life from the NFL and to fine the Bears and their coaches, claiming any other evidence they think they have, before accusing that boy of deliberately injuring another player. . . . ""The Lions have no right to cru- elfy this kid, no right to talk of banning him from the game, un- less they have real proof that he was guilty of an illegal act." Anderson suggested Bell call for the motion pictures of the game. | He said he didn't know whether the Lions" movies would show the incident "since we instruct our photographer to follow the ball and Layne already had gotten rid of it when he was attacked." Anderson wrote that "Meadows has a bad history and if you (Bell) will check the records you will find that he deliberately slugged Layne when he (Mead- ows) was with Pittsburgh last year Chicago he might sue the Lions for defamation of character. He said the tackle that led to the Meadows, a 225-pounder, said in| was the only oné in the whole stadium that was." Layne, who returned to Detroit with the team Sunday night, was pronounced in good shape by De- troit doctors. He said he didn't know at the time who hit him. | "I'm not surprised to find out it was Meadows," Layne declared. "He's done it before." Layne said he didn't expect any action by Bell "Meadows will be around next TITY Ary INSULATION CROWN DIAMOND PAINT |year," he sald. "but the other players in the league will take care of him.
